Sex (or gender if that is the noun you prefer) is not a determinant here, it is down to whether you stick with your sex (gender) stereotype. Women cannot grow beards so having a beard cannot be a factor for them. Men can grow beards, some do, some shave. Shaving beards off is trying to look more like a woman. Failure is therefore determined by being a man trying to look like a woman. Of course heart attacks are caused by televisions -- this is provable statistically. -- Russel. ============================================================================= Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 voip: sip:[email protected] 41 Buckmaster Road m: +44 7770 465 077 xmpp: [email protected] London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk skype: russel_winder
